Armed Men Force Their Way Into BK Home After Food Delivery: Cops

BROOKLYN, NY — Cops are looking for three people who seem to have run a food-delivery scheme to rob a Brooklyn apartment.

The trio, a woman and two men, are all wanted for questioning about the robbery, which happened last Friday on East 18th Street, according to police.

Shortly before 5 p.m. that day, the woman delivered food to a sixth floor apartment inside the Flatbush building, police said.

Soon after, two men with guns showed up at the same apartment and forced their way inside. They then tied up the 38-year-old man and 44-year-old man who were in the apartment and stole about $2,000-worth of cash and electronics, police said.

The woman and two attackers were caught on surveillance video walking into the East 18th Street building at the same time, according to police.

After the crime, the woman fled north on East 18th Street and the men fled south down the roadway. The two victims were uninjured, police said.

Police said the woman is between 20 and 25 years of age and was last seen wearing a black jacket, gray pants, and white and pink sneakers.

The first man was last seen wearing a red sweatshirt, black jacket, black pants, a red bandana and eyeglasses. The second was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, red sneakers and was carrying a black backpack, police said.
